To prepare a delicious and fluffy cake, we start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure you have on hand 4 fresh eggs, 200 g of sugar, 100 ml of oil, 250 g of yogurt, 300 g of flour, 50 g of starch, 1 packet of baking powder, the grated zest of one lemon, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In a large bowl, start by beating the eggs together with the sugar. Use an electric mixer to achieve a frothy and airy mixture, which will give the cake a light texture. Continue mixing until the eggs turn a deep yellow and the sugar is completely dissolved. This step is essential to ensure a fluffy cake, so do not rush.
Once you have obtained a consistent foam, gradually add the oil, continuing to mix as if you were making mayonnaise. It is important for the oil to be well incorporated into the mixture to avoid lumps. After the oil is completely incorporated, add the yogurt. This will bring moisture to the cake, making it tastier.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, starch, and baking powder. This step is crucial, as sifting aerates the ingredients and prevents lumps from forming. Once you have sifted the dry ingredients, gradually add them to the wet mixture, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid losing air. Finally, incorporate the lemon zest, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt, which will enhance the flavors.
Prepare a 24 cm baking tray, greased with butter and dusted with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour the mixture into the tray, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the tray inside. Bake the cake for about 35 minutes, or until it turns golden and passes the toothpick test.
After the cake has completely cooled, generously sprinkle a layer of powdered sugar on top for an elegant appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. This cake is perfect to be served on a special occasion or simply to indulge yourself on an afternoon. Enjoy every bite and savor its flavors!
